Referring to the fact that for Paladino
to win the election he needed to reach out to independents, O'Reilly
countered that “everybody but you in the world agrees this ain't
gonna help the guy.”

New York City Council Speaker Christine
Quinn also weighed in on the issue. Speaking to MSNBC's Contessa
Brewer on Monday, the openly lesbian lawmaker linked anti-gay
speeches to hate crimes and claimed that Paladino had “hurt
people.”
